For those that haven't read the earlier comments posted in the previous blog posts, it seems that Pamela Arwing will be taking the helm as the Rosenkreuzstilette Freudenstachel's "Zero". Yes, the Black Cross' head Dark Magi, of all magic-users. Just yesterday, WOMI has shed some light (literally and figuratively speaking) of the bonus game's title with a new screenshot of game's title screen. [erka:es] would like to present to you all Rosenkreuzstilette Weißsilber. How will Pamela play out in her side-game, and will she'll anything like Grolla in the previous game? Only time will tell when the game hits Comiket sometime this year.

P.S.I apologise for the lack of activity/contributions here at Schwer And Schwer Alike. Many of you youngsters out there are blessed with freedom of having your own personal computers (be it a desktop or laptop, and your operating system is Microsoft Windows or Apple Macintosh) while I am absolutely NOT one of the lucky ones (or even the wealthy ones for that matter) to have that kind of privilege. Even as we speak, I'm using the Wii's horribly outdated Opera Internet Browser to make a blog post for the first time, and I can tell you all that the newer versions of Google's Blogspot doesn't like this internet browser. As much as I want to share the screenshots of the recent updates of the games, there are things you cannot do with this thing. So please, bear with me on this...

Hey, guys. Life is busy and stuff, and I haven't had the time to keep up with WOMI's blog and post about RKS-related news. However, I see that a few of you are keeping up with it and are posting about it int he comments sections. Would any of you be interested in becoming a writer for the site? I could use the help. Post a comment, or drop us a line at grollschwert[at]gmail[dot]com. Please and thank you.

Welcome!

Where in the world are you? I'm glad you asked! Welcome to Schwer and Schwer Alike, the official English development blog for Rosenkreuzstilette -Blades of the Rose Cross-. "RKS" is a series of indie sidescrollers created by [erka:es] as a loving tribute to old-school gaming. The series caters to the loyal-yet-neglected Megaman fanbase and fills the void created by the cancellation of Megaman Universe and Megaman Legends 3.

Originally a dynamic duo, [erka:es] is now a one-man show run by WOMI, the series' lead artist and character designer. Should you feel so inclined, you can download free trial versions of Rosenkreuzstilette and its sequel, Rosenkreuzstilette Freudenstachel, from the developer's official website. If you like what you see, you can purchase both games, in English, via Steam and Playism .
